Air Conditioning and Refrigeration JSA

JSA, JHA, THA, JSEA or a SWMS?

What’s the difference?

A Job Safety Analysis (JSA) also known as a Job Hazard Analysis (JHA), or Task Hazard Analysis (THA), Job Safety and Environemtal Analysis (JSEA) or a Safe Work Method Statement (SWMS) in essence are all the same thing.

They all have 3 main elements:

  1. Job Step (What are you going to do)
  2. Potential Hazard (What can go wrong or cause harm)
  3. Control measure (What are you going to do to make sure it doesn’t go wrong or cause harm)

A JSEA also considers the environmental hazards/ impacts and controls. 

No matter what you call it, The JSEAsy safety Management Software creates a report with the terminology of your choosing.

The main objective of a Job Safety Analysis (JSA) is to identify potential hazards before they lead to harm, ensuring that tasks are completed safely.  
When you set your JSEAsy defaults, the wording on the buttons and on the reports will automatically update to match the default selection.

People often ask, “Can I have a Safe Work Method Statements (SWMS) for Air Conditioning and Refrigeration?” “A document that covers everything?”  The answer is not really. 

A Safe Work Method Statements (SWMS) needs to document step by step how you are going to do a particular job. Not all jobs are the same! Are you going to install a commercial air-cooled chiller or a split system to a house? Or maybe commercial refrigeration.

The steps in undertaking each of these tasks are very different. Not only are the steps different, but the potential hazards and the hazard control measures are very different as well.
